"ᵉˣⁱˢᵗ"

"exist"

he breathes existence into her,
filling her lungs with longing and reason.
he takes her hand
and leads her into the light,
paving a way for her to follow when he's gone.
but will she be able to venture into the light
when he is no longer there?
can she follow the path on her own?
or will she derail,
creating a new, brutal path
that will lead her to an all knowing darkness.
a darkness that knows her doubts...
her fears...
her vulnerabilities.
will it attack her,
prying at her damaged heart,
shooting lies and threats at her feeble mind,
nitpicking at all her insecurities,
dragging her last shred of hope away
into the deep,
dark,
woeful place....
the unspeakable place.
now who will breathe existence into her,
if she's suffocating?
if she no longer has the desire

to exist.

a/n:
this was the first real piece i've ever written. i had posted it in my bio and several people complimented me (sjsjskshjs that was the most amazing feeling; thank you so much to those of you who encouraged me to continue writing). so i thought, well, it only makes sense that i should include this as my first poem in this book.

thank you for reading, ily :')
